Sarracenia flava var maxima NC
Green pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia flava var maxima NC is a striking carnivorous plant belonging to the pitcher plant family. Native to North Carolina, this variety is renowned for its impressive size and vibrant yellow pitchers, which can grow quite tall, often exceeding a meter in height. The pitchers feature a distinct, flared hood that helps attract and trap unsuspecting insects. These plants thrive in acidic, nutrient-poor soils and require full sun to thrive, showcasing their best colors and producing the most effective traps. They capture insects to supplement the nutrients they cannot get from their soil. For successful cultivation, ensure the plant receives plenty of sunlight and use a peat-based potting mix. Also, use rainwater or distilled water, as tap water can be detrimental. Provide them with winter dormancy for optimal health and growth.
